    New Solix 15 help

    I have a new Solix 15 that has been used twice. First time out the screen started going haywire and flashing with lines throughout the screen. I figured it may be a voltage problem with battery since the battery was 3 years old. Swapped battery to a new group 31 and second trip out it started doing the same exact thing 30 min into the trip. I have this wired with 10g wire direct to battery that is 5 feet from the unit. All the connections are good. 12.5 volts to the unit and over 13 with motor running. The lowest voltage I’ve seen on Solix is 12.2 volts.

    What are my options? Has anybody encountered this problem? I know it’s under warranty but want to make sure I’m not missing something before sending back. Thanks.

    Edit: now back home in garage and unit is reading 12.6 volts and working fine, then after 30 min it went haywire again

    Sounds like you may be having an issue with the unit after it warms up. My guess is some sort of fault in the display or electronics. You may be sending this one back.
